Halo Wars 2 Blitz Cards

Each card in the hand has a specific Energy cost which is automatically deducted from your Energy reservoir after which the specified unit/power is summoned on the map.

The played card is then moved to the bottom of the deck and a new card is added to your hand.

If you don’t like a card in your hand, you can change it to get another card from your deck for 5 Energy irrespective of the card’s cost, rarity, or unit/power. It’s a good idea to always summon units to your Home Base.

If you summon a card directly to the battlefield, it might suffer from Deployment Fatigue.

Deployment Fatigue basically halves a unit’s health and damage for 8 seconds. If a unit manages to avoid taking damage for 8 seconds, it replenishes all its health and damage.

Your job should always be to capture as many Control Zones as possible.

Halo Wars 2 Blitz Units

In Halo Wars 2 Blitz, each player has a Population Limit of 30 active units with 1 active unit counted as 1 member.

However, in Blitz, controlling the unit is similar to controlling them in other game modes. In this game mode, managing your units is an integral part of succeeding in it. Gathering Energy is difficult and played card can take a while to appear in your hand again.

Lastly, units in Blitz don’t gain Veterancy, but there are some cards with built-in Veterancy and Passive Abilities.

Halo Wars 2 Blitz Proving Grounds

In Proving Grounds, there are two color-code bases – one for each team. Your base not only provides increased healing to all friendly units but also prevents Deployment Fatigue.

There are three Control Zones in Proving Grounds which work a little differently. First of all, you only need to send one unit in order to immediately contest/capture a Control Zone. However, in order to capture a contested Control Zone, you need to eliminate all available threats in the Control Zone.

Finally, there are 8 sites at which Energy Crates appear. The timing at which these Energy Crates appear to differ for Blitz and Firefight but these Energy Crates never appear outside these sites.
